I am sad this is only being sold in a single shade shade now (in Soft Cameo), because it's one of the few sheer, oil blotting pressed powders I have found at the drugstore. I actually like the slim compact, that isn't a bulky, annoying to use split pan like most powders now are. This is good for setting makeup and touching up my shiny t-zone throughout the day and does not get cakey.

I chose "Classic Beige", having no idea if it would match or not, but it ended up being a great color match for my fair skin with neutral undertones. I'd say the shades run light though, because I can't use Classic Beige in any of their other foundations. This gives light, natural looking coverage, and smooth matte finish. I have an oily t-zone and I appreciate how non-greasy this is. The packaging is ideal, because it's a nice small squeeze tube, which makes it easy to use and travel friendly. I would say this better suits normal to oily skin, because it has a natural matte finish and is not all that hydrating. I like this foundation a lot!

I have this in "Light" because it is yellow based versus "Fair" which seemed more pink. I am pretty pale, with golden undertones, and this shade is a great color match. I find this concealer to have good coverage and is very blendable. It's a little *too* creamy and can rub off easily because of it, but since I set everything with a powder anyway, it usually isn't a problem. This works well under eyes and over any facial blemishes. The packaging is nice, and so is the price, I have had mine for 2 months and have barely made a dent in it!

I actually prefer a blush that isn't overly bright or dark, because I have fair skin most of the year and hate blush that looks obvious. This does show up, and I don't really have to pile it on to get color payoff. I have Medium Pink and this color gives me the perfect natural flush to the apples of my cheeks. It gives me some color without being clownish. The little brush isn't the best, but it gets the job done in a pinch. I love the slim packaging, it makes it travel friendly.

These have great color payoff, even on the waterline, and apply so smoothly and easily. I love the fine tip, which makes lining at the base of the lashline, much easier. I have Espresso and Black, but usually stick to the brown because black is harsher for daytime wear. The only con is that because the formula is so soft, it does tend to smudge.

This is my absolute favorite mascara! There are a lot of good drugstore mascaras, but this wins points for the slim curved wand and a formula that both lengthens and thickens without clumping or flaking. I love both the regular and waterproof versions, and use the latter during the summer. The black is very black and I can get a full lash effect with a single coat.

I actually prefer a bronzer that isn't overly pigmented, because I have fair skin most of the year and hate bronzer that looks dark and obvious. This does show up (I have Medium Bronze), and I don't really have to pile it on to get color payoff. This color gives me the perfect golden hue to the contour my cheeks. It gives me some color without being muddy. The little brush isn't the best, but it gets the job done. I love the slim packaging, it makes it travel friendly. This is a great bronzer for fair skin!

This is a great sheer, lightweight powder for setting makeup, and/or blotting shine. I really appreciate how natural looking this powder is! This mattifies my oily t-zone nicely, but isn't dull or chalky. This also used to have a strong chamomile fragrance, but CG has now removed the fragrance and this powder is even better! Love the finish, the slim pretty compact, and the soft puff!

I really like this because it's such a time saver! Just a few quick swipes with the included sponge and my foundation is done! I like that this can be sheered out, or you can build this up over areas that need more coverage. This also doubles as a concealer, I just dip my concealer brush and apply where I need it. This dries quickly, and I find that patting/pressing the makeup on works better than rubbing. I usually just use the included sponge because it's the fastest/easiest. The finish is not totally matte, but not super shiny, but I still set my very oily t-zone with a pressed powder. I really like the simple, slim, sturdy compact this comes in, it's great for travel.
